OMG SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR A RIDICULOUSLY LONG TIME!

HERE'S CHAPTER 9!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 9

Annabth's P.O.V.

Just my luck.

Persassy Jackson had just sat on my seat with a very demanding face. I glared at him, trying to find out what he wanted.

"Tell me everything." He muttered, an expression full of rage on his face.

"Excuse me?"

"I said, tell me every single thing about what you did that broke Luke."

I crossed my arms, furious.

"Why the hell should I tell you?"
"Because," he gritted his teeth.

"Luke fucking shot Rachel!" he hissed.

What?!

I nearly bit my tongue when I said,

"Why did he do that?"
Of course I knew why, but I wanted to know how much he knew.

"Ah, he asked me to… hurt you.. even kill you… but he didn't tell me why. You… you were right, he wasn't kidding when he threatened my mother and Rachel.. and now, because of you, my mother could die!"

I sighed. My brain was exploding, telling me to run away, as I did millions of times, but I was determined to spill the truth.

Holding my secret inside was rotting me from the inside.

"I… I um"

"Go on." He prompted.

"Uh, when I was in middle school, Luke used to…"

"Hmm?"

"He used to sexually abuse me."

"Are you lying? Or are you joking.. or.." he muttered.

"I'm not! Who would even lie about such things?!" I snapped.

He gulped. "Okay.. go on."

I closed my eyes, thinking of the horrible day when Luke approached me with a 15 inch long knife, a face filled with a maniac expression. I remembered the hot pain that ran through my arm and I remembered that there was blood everywhere, and I was screaming, the entire room was filled with screams that day.

"And, one day, he.. he cut me.. with a knife, here…"

I hesitated before rolling up my sleeve, showing the large scar that ran from my shoulder to wrist.

Calling the scar large was an understatement.

Percy inhaled sharply when he saw it, his eyes filled with sympathy. He did something that surprised me, he trailed his fingers on my scar, up to my elbow, where he apparently noticed what he was doing.

He blushed and quickly stuffed his fingers inside of his pocket.

When he touched me, I felt shaky and my skin was immediately filled with goose bumps.

[A/N This is when it all started ;)]

"I… I don't know what to say."

I looked down.

My eyes were filling with tears, clouding my vision.

"He threatened me not to tell anyone, but… I told my best friend.. and mysteriously, she died of poisoning the next day."

Percy was shocked.

"How did he get away with this!?"
I shrugged helplessly.

"We have to do something…"

"We can't!" I said, raising my voice.

"If we do anything about is, he always hurts the people I care about!"

A small smirk crept up his face.

"You care about me?"

"I was referring to my friends and family." I grumbled, my cheeks turning red.
I quickly lowered my voice.

'Luke told me that if I become his boyfriend, then he wouldn't hurt my friends and family."

"Oh…"

"Are you happy now? You just put yourself in danger by making me tell you!" I said.

"Hey, I just wanted to help."

"Whatever." I muttered.

I got up from my lunch seat and was about to leave when Percy grabbed my hand.

"Hey," he whispered.

"Its going to be fine, I'll help you get through this."
I shivered, feeling Percy's warm hand, that's when I remembered I already had a 'boyfriend.'

"Don't be stupid, it was my mistake I told my bestie."

"Are you crazy? He's the one who hurt you." He said as if explaining the ABC's to a baby.

I sighed and stared into Percy's sea-green eyes, almost drowning in them, they were so beautiful.

I tried to snap myself out of my trance.

I gently pulled my hand from his grasp.

"Fine.. I have an idea.. but.. it will require some acting…"

He leaned forward, suddenly interested.

"What is the plan?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alright, sorry it's a bit short… but I had to update.

You'll get a brief view of their plan in the next chapter… try to guess what it is!

Those who waited for me to update, thanks a lot for staying and not hating me!
